1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to novel antifungal azole derivatives having a fluorinated vinyl group, a process for preparing same and an antifungal composition containing same as an active ingredient.

2. Description of the Prior Art

A number of antifungal compounds have been developed for treating diseases caused by fungal infection and examples by currently available antifungal drugs include such azole derivatives as Fluconazole of Pfizer (GB Pat. No. 2,099,818, U.S. Pat. No. 4,404,216), Itraconazole of Janssen (U.S. Pat. No. 4,267,179, EP Patent Publication No. 6,711) and Voriconazole of Pfizer (EP Patent Publication No. 440,372, U.S. Pat. No. 5,278.175).

However, a long-term use of the above drugs may cause side effects such as liver damage and there has emerged a renewed interest in developing a more active and less toxic antifungal drug, as an ever increasing number of people are afflicted with such diseases as AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome), cancer and diabetes, and become vulnerable to fungal infection.

Recently, a number of new azole derivatives have been developed by Janssen (see German Patent No. 2,804,096, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,144,346 and 4,223,036, and PCT Publication No. WO95/08,993), Schering (see PCT Publication No. WO95/17,407 and WO93/09,114), Takeda(see EP Publication No. 421,210) and YuhanCorporation(see PCT Publication No. WO95/025,107) however, these antifungal compounds exhibit lower antifungal activities and narrower antifungal spectra in comparison with the conventional drugs.

The present inventors have endeavored to develop compounds having high antifungal activity against a wide spectrum of pathogenic fungi; and have unexpectedly found that a new class of azole derivatives having a fluorinated vinyl group exhibit excellent antifungal activities and low toxicity.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, it is aprimary object of the present invention to provide a novel compound which is superior to the conventional antifungal drugs in antifungal activity against a wide spectrum of pathogenic fungi including Candida albicans, Torulopsis, Cryptoccocus, Aspergillus, Trichophyton and Fluconazole-resistant Candida alhicans, and also in toxicity.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a process for the preparation of said compound.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide an antifungal composition containing said compound.

In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a novel azole derivative of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof:

wherein:

X is CH or N;

Y is O,

R¹ and R² are each independently F or Cl;

R³ is a thiophenyl, naphthyl, or phenyl group, the phenyl group being optionally substituted with one or more substituents selected from the group consisting of C₁₋₄ alkyl, C₁₋₄ haloalkyl, C₁₋₄ alkoxy, methylenedioxy and halogen; and

Further, another preferred are those wherein X is CH; Y is O; R³ is methylphenyl; and R⁴ is H.

The novel azole derivatives substituted carrying a fluorinated vinyl group of formula (I) of the present invention may be prepared by a process which comprises reacting a compound of formula (II) with a fluorinated vinyl compound of formula (III) in the presence of a base as shown in Reaction Scheme 1.

wherein, X, Y, R¹, R², R³ and R⁴ have the same meanings as defined in formula (I).

In the above reaction, the compounds of formulae (II) and (III) may be used in equimolar amounts, and the base, in 1 to 2 molar amount.

Further, the solvent which can be used in the present invention includes a typical organic solvent, e.g., benzene, toluene, tetrahydrofuran, acetone, acetonitrile, dichloromethane, dimethylformamide and dimethylsulfoxide and it also includes an organic solvent mixed with water.

The base which can be used in the present invention includes an inorganic base (e.g.: sodium hydride, potassium hydride, potassium t-butoxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate) and an organic base (e.g.: triethylamine and pyridine).

The reaction temperature may range from a room temperature to 100° C. and the progress of the reaction is conveniently followed by measuring the disappearance of the compound of formula (II) with thin layer chromatography (TLC).

The compound of formula (II) is represented by the compounds of formulae (II-a), (II-b) and (II-c) depending on the definition of the substituent Y.

wherein, X, R¹ and R² have the same meanings as defined above.

A compound of formula (II-a) may be prepared by a conventional method(see Heeres, J. et al., J. Med. Chem., 22(8), 1003(1979)) as shown in Reaction Scheme 2:

wherein, X, R¹ and R² have the same meanings as defined above.

In Reaction Scheme 2, i) the carbonyl group of a compound of formula (II-a-5) is protected to form a compound of formula (II-a-4); ii) the compound of formula (II-a-4) is brominated to form a compound of formula (II-a-3) (see Levene, P. A., Org. Syn. Coll., 2, 88 (1943)); the compound of formula (II-a-3) is benzoylated and recrystallized to form a compound of formula (II-a-2) (see Wheeler, T. S., Org. Syn. Coll., 4, 478(1943), and Szeja, W., Synthesis., 821 (1979)); and the compound of formula (II-a-2) is subjected to a substitution reaction to form a compound of formula (II-a-1), which is, in turn, debenzoylated to form a compound of (II-a)(see Mashimo, K. et al., Tetrahedron, 26, 803 (1970)).

Since the compound of formula (II-a) has two chiral carbons, it is obtained as a mixture of four stereoisomers, a cis- and trans-type diastereomers each of which is composed of two enantiomers. In the present invention, the cis type diastereomer is separated in one of the subsequent reaction steps to form a compound of formula (II-a).

For example, 2-bromomethyl-2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-phenylcarbonyloxymethyl-1,3-dioxolane obtained from the reaction of 2-bromomethyl-2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl methanol (i.e., the compound of formula (II-a-3) wherein R¹ and R² are Cl) with benzoyl chloride is subjected to recrystallization to separate the cis diastereomer having a melting point of 115° C. in the form of a colorless crystal which is used in the next reaction, as in Reaction Scheme 2.

Further, in case of 2-bromomethyl-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-4-phenylcarbonyloxymethyl-1,3-dioxolane obtained from the reaction of 2-bromomethyl-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl methanol(i.e., the compound of formula (II-a-3) wherein R¹ and R² are F) with benzoyl chloride, it is converted into 2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-2-(1H-1-imidazolyl-methyl)-4-phenylcarbonyloxymethyl-1,3-dioxolane, which is subjected to recrystallization to separate the cis form(i.e., a compound of formula (II-a-1)) having a melting point of 136° C., as shown in the following Reaction Scheme 3.

wherein, X has the same meaning as defined above.

In the present invention, cis isomers of formulae (II-a) and (II-b) and (II-c) are used.

A compound of formula (II-b) may be prepared by the method described in Heeres, J. et al., J. Med. Chem., 26 (4). 611 (1983), i.e., by the process shown in Reaction Scheme 4 which comprises the steps of conducting a sulfonation reaction of a compound of formula (II-a) (see Furst A. et al., Helv. Chem. Acta. 30. 1454 (1947)), substitution and debenzylation (see Heathcock, C. H. et al., J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 93. 1746 (1971)).

wherein, X, R¹ and R² have the same meanings as defined above.

An amine of formula (II-c) which can be used as a starting material in preparing the compound of formula (I) may be prepared by the method described in Heeres, J. et al., J. Med. Chem., 27 (7). 894 (1984), i.e., by the process shown in Reaction Scheme 5 which comprises the steps of conducting a substitution reaction of a compound of formula (II-b-2) to form a compound of formula (II-c-1) and hydrolysis of the compound of formula (II-c-1).

wherein, X, R¹ and R2 have the same meanings as defined above.

The fluorinated vinyl compound of formula (III) is represented by the compounds of formulae (III-a) and (III-b) depending on the definition of the substituent R⁴.

wherein, R³ has the same meaning as defined in formula (I) above.

Among the fluorinated vinyl compound of formula (III), the compound of (III-a) wherein R⁴ is H may be prepared by a conventional method (see Herkes, F. E. et al., J. Org. Chem., 32, 1311 (1967)), e.g., by the process shown in Reaction Scheme 6 which comprises the steps of conducting a Grignard reaction of the halogenated compound of formula (III-a-4), reduction, chlorination and dehalogenation. Further, the compound of (III-b) wherein R⁴ is CF₃ may be prepared by a Wittig reaction using a ketone of formula (III-a-3) as a starting material as shown in Reaction Scheme 6 (see Herkes, F. E. et al., J. Org. Chem., 48, 917 (1983)).

wherein, R³ has the same meaning as defined in formula (I) above and Z is a halogen such as Br and Cl.

The compound of formula (I) of the present invention has a double bond in its vinyl moiety, and thus, Z(zusammen) and E(entgegen) isomers may co-exist. Further, due to the chiral carbons at 2- and 4-position of the dioxolane ring, the compound of formula (I) may exist in the form of either (2R,4S) or (2S,4R) stereoisomers.

In case of the compound of formula (I-1) wherein the chiral carbons have the configuration of (2R,4S) and X, Y, R¹, R² and R³ have the same meanings as defined above, the compound is an E isomer when R⁴ is H, while the compound is a Z isomer when R⁴ is CF₃.

In case of the compound of formula (I-2) wherein the chiral carbons have the configuration of (2R,4S) and X, Y, R¹, R² and R³ have the same meanings as defined above, the compound is a Z isomer when R⁴ is H, while the compound is an E isomer when R⁴ is CF₃.

Further, in case of the compound of formula (I-3) wherein the chiral carbons have the configuration of (2S, 4R) and X, Y, R¹, R² and R³ have the same meanings as defined above, the compound is an E isomer when R⁴ is H, while the compound is a Z isomer when R⁴ is CF₃.

In case of the compound of formula (I-4) wherein the chiral carbons have the configuration of (2S,4R) and X, Y, R¹, R² and R³ have the same meanings as defined above, the compound is a Z isomer when R⁴ is H, while the compound is an E isomer when R⁴ is CF₃.

In practicing the present invention, the compound of formula (I) wherein R⁴ is H is obtained mainly in the form of a mixture of E-isomers((I-1) and (I-3)), Z-isomers((I-2) and (I-4)] being a minor product. When R⁴ is CF₃, the reaction mixture contains mainly Z-isomers((I-1) and (I-3)), with a minor amount of E-isomers((I-2) and (I-4)].

The compound of formula (I) exhibit excellent antifungal activity against a wide spectrum of pathogenic fungi including Candida albicans, Torulopsis, Cryptoccocus, Asperqillus, Trichoohyton and Fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans, as well as fungicidal activities.

The present invention also includes within its scope an antifungal composition comprising one or more of the novel azole derivatives of formula (I) as an active ingredient, in association with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients or other additives, if necessary.

The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may be formulated for administration orally or by injection. The composition for oral administration may take various forms such as tablets and gelatin capsules, which may contain conventional additives such as a diluent (e.g., lactose, dextrose, sucrose, mannitol, sorbitol, cellulose and/or glycine), a lubricant (e.g., silica, talc, stearic acid or its magnesium and calcium salts and polyethylene glycol). In the tablet form, the composition may further comprise a binder (e.g., magnesium aluminum silicate, starch paste, gelatin, tragacanth, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and polyvinyl picolidine) and optionally a disintegrant (e.g., starch, agar and alginic acid or its sodium salt), absorbent, colorant, flavor and sweetener. The composition for injection may be an isotonic solution or a suspension. The inventive pharmaceutical composition may be administered daily. A typical daily dose of the active ingredient ranges from about 1 to 1000 mg/kg, preferably 1 to 200 mg/kg, and can be administered in a single dose or in divided doses, preferably 1 to 3 doses. However, it should be understood that the amount of the active ingredient actually administered should be determined in light of various relevant factors including the condition to be treated, the chosen route of administration, the age and weight of the individual patient, and the severity of the patient's symptoms; and, therefore, the dosage suggested above should not be construed to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

The compounds of the present invention may be administered simultaneously with one or more other anti-bacterial agent, analgesic, anti-cancer agent and anti-viral agent and the oral formulations and injections can be used simultaneously.

PREPARATION 9 Preparation of 2,2-difluorostyrene(III-a)

Step 1: Preparation of 2,2,2-trifluoromethylphenylketone(III-a-3)

5.1 g (0.21 mol) of magnesium and 300 ml of dry ether ere placed in a dry reactor under a N₂ atmosphere and 31.4 g (0.2 mol) of bromobenzene was added dropwise thereto to obtain a Grignard Reagent.

28.4 g (0.2 mol) of ethyltrifluoroacetate was added dropwise to the above at −78° C. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour, mixed with ice, acidified with conc. HCl and extracted three times with ether.

The combined organic layer was dried and, after removing the solvent under a reduced pressure, the residue was distilled at 64 to 65° C. under 33 mmHg to obtain 24.74 g of the title compound as a colorless oil (Yield: 71%).

¹H-NMR (CDCl₃, TMS) δ (ppm): 7.52-7.12 (m, 5H); MS(m/e): 174 (M⁺, 21), 105 (100), 77 (82), 69 (54).

Added thereto was 3.27 g of activated zinc and the mixture was refluxed with stirring for 12 hours. The mixture was cooled, filtered to remove the salts produced, and the solvent was removed under a reduced pressure.

The oily residue was subject to distillation at 58-59° C. under 49 mmHg to obtain 6.09 g of 2,2-difluorostyrene(III-a) ((yield 87%)

¹H-NMR (CDCl₃, TMS) δ (ppm): 7.45-7.10 (m, 5H), 5.20 (dd, 1H, J=26 Hz, 4 Hz); MS(m/e): 140 (M⁺, 100), 120 (26), 84 (16), 44 (32).

PREPARATION 10 to 26

The procedure of Step 1 of Preparation 9 was repeated except that each of the corresponding halogenated compounds(III-a-4) was used in place of 4-bromobenzene to obtainvarioussubstituted2,2,2-trifluoromethylphenylketone(III-a-3, Compounds A to Y) and the their characterization data are shown in Table II.

TEST EXAMPLE 1 Antifungal Activity

In vitro antifungal activities of the inventive antifungal compounds were evaluated using the test strains shown in Table VIII by the following microbroth dilution method which is a modified version of the procedure recommended by National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards(see National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards, 1992, Reference methods for broth dilution antifungal susceptibility testing of yeasts, Proposed standard M27-P, National Committee for clinical laboratory standards, Villanova, Pa; and National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards, 1995, Reference methods for broth dilution antifungal susceptibility testing of yeasts. Tentative standard M27-T, National Committee for clinical laboratory standards, Villanova, Pa).

Sabourad Dextrose Agar(Difco) was used as a culture medium, and RPMI-1640 broth(Sigma. Co. w/L-glutamine, wo/NaHCO₃)(0.165 M MOPS, pH 7.0), as a dilution medium.

Each of the test strains were subcultured in Sabourad Dextrose Agar medium twice and a stain sample was taken from prominent colonies and suspended in sterile physiological saline solution in a cap tube. The turbidity of the suspension was adjusted to that of the Mcfarland 0.5 standard sample(approximately 10⁶ CFU/ml). Then the suspension was diluted 500-fold with sterile RPMI-1640 liquid medium to 2×10³ CFU/ml.

Each of the test compounds(the compounds obtained in Examples 1 to 150 and comparative compounds, i.e., fluconazole(FCZ) and itraconazole (ICZ)), was dissolved in DMSO to give a stock solution having a concentration of 4000 μg/ml and the stock solution was successively diluted to obtain test solutions having test compound concentrations of 200, 100, 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25, 3.13, 1.56, 0.78, 0.39, 0.20 and 0.10 μg/ml, respectively.

0.1 ml portion of the test solutions were added to the wells of a sterile 96 well plate. Then, 0.1 ml portion of each of the test strain solutions were added successively to the wells and the plate was incubated at 35° C. for 4 to 48 hours.

TEST EXAMPLE 2 Toxicity of Oral Administration

30 four-week-old, specific pathogen-free ICR mice, 15 female mice each weighing about 15.8 to 22.3 g and 15 male mice each weighing about 18.7 to 25.6 g, were provided by the Animal Center of Korean Research Institute of Chemical and Technology.

When the mice became five-week-old, 15 female mice each weighing about 17.0 to 22.3 g and 15 male mice each weighing about 22.0 to 27.7 g were bred for 6 days before the experiment under an environment of 23±30° C., 50±10% relative humidity, 12L/12D photoperiod, 10-20 ventilation and 150-300 Lux illumination, with free access to food(Cheil Fodder Co.) which had been sterilized by using 2.0 Mrad radiation and water sterilized by U.V. sterilizer.

The compound of Example 26 of the present invention was dissolved in corn oil containing 30% DMSO and the solution was orally administered in doses of 10, 50, 100, 500, 1,000 and 2,000 mg of the compound/kg of the body weight(10 ml of the sample volume/kg of the body weight). The solution was administered once and the mice were observed for 7 days for signs of adverse effects or death according to the following schedule: 1, 2, 4 and 12 hours after the administration and, every 12 hours thereafter. The weight changes of the mice were recorded every day to examine the effect of the test compound. Further, on the 7th day, the mice were sacrificed and the internal organs were visually examined. The autopsy revealed that the mice did not develop any pathological abnormality, and no weight loss was observed during the 7 day test period.

All the mice were alive at day 7 at a dose of 1,000 mg/kg or below. The LD₅₀ of the compound 26 was determined to be higher than 2,000 mg/kg (male) and approximately 2,000 mg/kg (female). In contrast, the conventional antifungal agents exhibit higher LD₅₀ values, i.e., ketoconazole(mouse, oral, 702 mg/kg), itraconazole(mouse, oral, 320 mg/kg), fluconazole and amphotericin B from a natural source (mouse, intravenous, 4 mg/kg).
